It's a joke that Corrin and I can get lengthy bans for affecting forum atmosphere whilst Bun was given almost free reign to wreck the joint. This is completely unrelated to the fact that he's Precam, but it's a been a pattern with problematic users for a while now.

Indeed, can't say I'm terribly excited about the banning, just means it will all start up again.

I particularly will enjoy the mealy-mouthed "don't victimize >obvious pre-cam multi<, it's bullying, there's no proof", followed by >obvious pre-cam multi< playing up his victim status by saying, "I was going to leave, but I won't now, because I'm standing up to the bullies".

Then the inevitable banning after he's destroyed most discussion, wonder who'll cop a ban for stating the bleeding obvious next time, odds-on Furball, I guess.

Yes, I understand that James. However - and I'm not professing to have the answer here - you need to do something about this. You ask people to report posts rather than respond, but unless people know their issues are at least vaguely being dealt with then you will end up having the issues you've had recently with long term members losing their temper. I honestly think it'd be better if you notify the reporting poster if their report results in an infraction. The default position being no response = no infraction. Blunt, but better than right now.

I know you can only act if you have evidence, but people have known for ages that some of these multis are the same regular offender; yet that account has only had the occasional slap on the wrist despite regular trolling. It may sound harsh, but it makes you all look a little naive - though I know that not to be the case.

If you want a response, don't use the report function; email us instead and outline your problem. We don't argue with members over email but if they have an issue we'll endeavour to give the best explanation we can should they email us.

Yeah, so the report function is pointless then really. And judging by some people's feelings on the customer service when they do send an e-mail to the moderators, I feel like it would be a Sisyphean task.

If someone sends an email to us that isn't just argumentative, we will respond to it. Sometimes it takes us a few days but we always do. Unfortunately we have a few members here who will respond to our responses ad infinitum with circular arguments so eventually we do have to stop replying in those cases. I certainly don't imagine we'd have to stop replying to you, though.

Athlai doesn't lie. And he doesn't do sarcasm either, so you know it's true!
